UNESCO

The constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was adopted by 20 countries at the London Conference in November 1945 and entered into effect on 4 November 1946. The Organization currently has 193 Member States and 11 Associate Members.

The main objective of UNESCO is to contribute to peace and security in the world by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science, culture and communication in order to foster universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and the human rights and fundamental freedoms that are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations.

To fulfil its mandate, UNESCO performs five principal functions: 1) prospective studies on education, science, culture and communication for tomorrow’s world; 2) the advancement, transfer and sharing of knowledge through research, training and teaching activities; 3) standard-setting actions for the preparation and adoption of international instruments and statutory recommendations; 4) expertise through technical cooperation to Member States for their development policies and projects; and 5) the exchange of specialized information.

UNESCO Institute for Statistics

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the official statistical office of UNESCO and the UN depository for global statistics in the fields of education, science, culture and communication.

The UIS is the custodian agency for data used to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal on education and provides data on key targets related to science, culture, communication and gender equality. While developing the methodologies and standards needed to produce cross-nationally comparable data, the UIS works directly with national statistical offices, line ministries and other organizations to help countries produce and use high-quality data.

This publication presents the global monitoring indicators used by countries and the international development community to monitor progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on education. The indicators were produced by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), based on the latest available data.

The UIS is the official source of internationally-comparable education data and the custodian agency for SDG 4 data. This mandate reflects the trust of the international community in UIS data and its proven track record in methodological work and standard-setting with national statistical offices, line ministries and technical partners in every region.

The Institute works with a wide range of partners to develop SDG 4 indicators through key initiatives such as:

Technical Cooperation Group on the Indicators for SDG 4–Education 2030 (TCG): serves as a platform to discuss and develop the monitoring indicators in an open, inclusive and transparent manner. The TCG is composed of regionally-representative members from Member States, international organizations, civil society and the Co-Chair of the Education 2030 Steering Committee.

Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML): is designed to improve learning outcomes by supporting national strategies for learning assessments and developing internationally-comparable indicators and methodological tools to measure progress towards key targets of SDG 4. GAML brings together a broad range of stakeholders, including experts and decisionmakers involved in national and cross-national learning assessment initiatives, as well as donors and civil society.

About the indicatorsThis publication presents a snapshot of the data used to monitor progress towards the global education goal and targets. It complements the UIS Quick Guide to Education Indicators for SDG  4, which provides more detailed information on the development, interpretation and use of the indicators.

The indicators presented in this publication are based on UIS data for the 2017 reference year (released in February 2019). Three major data sources are used to calculate the indicators: the UIS annual education survey, household surveys and national and cross-national learning assessments.

To further explore the data, please consult the UIS global education database, which is the most comprehensive in the world, covering all levels of education for about 200 countries and territories.

INFORMATION

What do these numbers represent?The percentage of students in Grade 2 or 3 achieving minimum proficiency level in reading. Minimum proficiency level (MPL) is the benchmark of basic knowledge in a domain (mathematics, reading, etc.) measured through learning assessments. Currently, there are no common standards validated by the international community or countries. The data presented here are based on the MPL defined in each assessment.

Where do these numbers come from?Sources: Various national and cross-national learning assessments including: Programme d’analyse des systèmes éducatifs de la CONFEMEN (PASEC), Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ), Tercer Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo (TERCE) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

How should this table be read?Each line represents a country/territory with data available for the selected period. For example, in Togo in 2014, 20% of the students in Grade 2/3 achieved a minimum proficiency level in reading. Due to methodological differences between assessments, data from different countries and years may not be comparable.

INFORMATION

What do these numbers represent?The percentage of students at the end of primary education achieving minimum proficiency level in mathematics. Minimum proficiency level (MPL) is the benchmark of basic knowledge in a domain (mathematics, reading, etc.) measured through learning assessments. Currently, there are no common standards validated by the international community or countries. The data presented here are based on the MPL defined in each assessment.

Where do these numbers come from?Sources: Various national and cross-national learning assessments, including: Programme d’analyse des systèmes éducatifs de la CONFEMEN (PASEC), Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ), Tercer Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo (TERCE) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

How should this table be read?Each line represents a country/territory with data available for the last selected period. For example, in Kazakhstan in 2015, 96% of students at the end of primary education achieved a minimum proficiency level in mathematics. Due to methodological differences between assessments, data from different countries and years may not be comparable.

SDG 4 DATA BOOKGLOBAL EDUCATION INDICATORS 2019

As the custodian of most of the global indicators to monitor progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) designs methodologies, standards and tools to help countries report on progress while strengthening the quality and use of their education data for effective policymaking.

The SDG 4 Data Book presents a snapshot of the latest data available on the SDG 4 global indicators, including simplified explanations of their definitions, data sources and interpretation. This edition presents data released by the UIS in February 2019, spanning from 2010 up to the school year ending in 2017. More historical data can be found in the UIS database: http://data.uis.unesco.org
